TJ Dillashaw will be able to win the second belt simultaneously at UFC Brooklyn, this Saturday (19). With a victory over Henry Cejudo, 'Viper' could spell the end of the Ultimate flyweight division. In an interview with the North American website MMA Fighting, the bantamweight champion stated that he doesn't care about the future of the division, as he is worried about being the 'greatest of all time'.

“I'm not really too worried about it. This is a selfish sport. I'm not worried about what they're going to do with the weight class or what they're doing with everyone else. I’m worried about being the greatest of all time,” said Dillashaw.

After the fight was confirmed, Dillashaw revealed that he had been hired by the organization to go down and eliminate the flyweight division. “The UFC wants to get rid of the flyweight division. They hired me to go down, close the category and get another belt in the process. It's a victory for me”, said TJ in an interview with the North American program Ariel Ariel Helwani's MMA Show.

Dillashaw plans that after beating Cejudo and winning the flyweight belt, he will challenge Max Holloway. 'Viper' wants to be the first and only champion in three different categories in UFC history.
